New IDOLM@STER Anime announced!

Earlier today on the official IDOLM@STER blog, they revealed that a new IDOLM@STER anime had been announced at "THE IDOLM@STER 2 765pro H@PPINESS NEW YE@R P@RTY !! 2011" event that same day! Further details will be contained in the March issue of Megami Magazine, due to be released on January 29th. The broadcast of a new IDOLM@STER radio show at HiBiKi Radio Station, tentatively called "Anime IDOLM@STER Radio" will also begin on that day. You can listen to a pre-broadcast commentary found there currently. Although many details will not be available until the release of Megami, all current info can be found on the newly opened anime official site, including the 1st PV below that was shown at the event. The site includes a countdown to the 29th, and for each day, a celebratory handwritten message from the cast will be added to the site.

From what is provided in the PV and the pre-broadcast commentary, we can determine the following about the new IDOLM@STER anime:

  1. It uses the same voice actors as the game does.
  2. The character designs are based off of the ones for iM@S 2.
  3. All thirteen of the current 765 Production idols will be in it.
Anything more would be pure speculation at this point. For those that are up to it, they are taking guesses as to who you think the anime character designs are being done by. If you would like to guess, you can send them a message from the Anime IDOLM@STER Radio site.

Arcade Stick Artwork

After modding my Mad Catz Fightstick TE recently with the Toodles MC Cthulhu and Imp v2, I started thinking about maybe replacing the artwork on it with custom artwork as well. I put together a quick design with gimp...well, it would have been quick if I could use gimp properly.   Anyway, what do you guys think? Feel free to leave impressions and suggestions in the comments.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo

So just the other day, I tried out the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Demo on my Xbox 360. It was an interesting experience, but I'm not sure I like it a lot. First thing I want to say is that my comparisons will mainly be to Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation. I think that's reasonable, considering that was the last game in the series to come out on the Xbox 360. Anyway, there are two modes in the demo, fighter plane mode and attack helicopter mode. I tried plane mode first. There are two control schemes you can choose for plane mode. One is called Standard, and the other one is called Original. Standard is an easier mode where the plane auto-levels in the absence of control inputs, and you simply push the left control stick in the direction you want to go. The rudder is still a separate control though that can be used for yaw adjustments. The demo defaults to this control scheme. Original gives you full control, making the x-axis of the control stick control the plane's roll...

11eyes and New Anime

So I just finished watching 11eyes, and overall, it wasn't really that good. I'm still thinking about playing the game though, seeing as how it looks quite different from the anime, I'm going to guess that it is in fact different, and hopefully interesting and engaging. I'm probably going to pick up the Xbox 360 version. I've also watched the first episodes of a few shows this season now, being Ladies verses Butlers, Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu, and Dance in the Vampire Bund. Ladies verses Butlers so far is most definitely a fanservicey show, and Flameheart's incredibly huge drill hair vaguely bothered me initially just by the sheer size. I somewhat got used to it as I watched the episode, but for a short while I was contemplating how much hair you would need to be able to pull off that kind of hair. Nevertheless, it seems like it might be fun to watch, so I'll be keeping up with it for the time being. I like Baka to Test to Shoukanjyuu for the fact that it...
